Been focusing on pausless solves, my current goal is to not pause in between 222->223 and when I started doing this I averaged 18 at first, which has widdled down to 13 only ~2.5 seconds from what I average
I would recommend practice like this to anyone trying to break sub 12/11/10 because it is a big issue for most people I think.
after I'm comfortable with this I'll focus on EO lookahead.
btw im not very active here as Im mostly active on the ZMS and R/Cubers discord more often
(when I spam tps I average 10.5ish)

I know, most people can plan 222 so coming out of that and looking for pieces on 3 faces is something that hits me a lot for a second or so - eliminating that would bring me down to sub 12
I've been solving so long my exspansion is algorithmic lol, so the only hard part for me is finding the pieces/tracking them while solving 222
(and because im only y/w cn its a bit easier to find)
also now I usually pick exspansion in inspection just by looking at it a bit and kinda educated guessing, not inspecting it though which about 90% of the time is the right one, you should try that

I’m sorry, what?

Almost sub PB with nowhere near the scramble luck!
R B2 D2 R2 U B' U2 L' F' U R2 U2 L2 B' D2 B' U2 R2 F B D2 I might do a recon for once

And I smash my PB ao5 to become 10.589. The counting 9 totally carried that.
Every single solve except for the second one (I think) had a pair in 223.

Been getting back into cubing a little more over school break, averaging mid 12, which is nice. Also had a sub 10 solve, haven’t had one of those for a month or two

PB! Will post reconstruction later
Been coming for over a year :)
y3//inspection
U R U F U2 x3 U2 D3 R3 D//2x2x2 9,9
U2 R3 U3 R//2x2x3 4,13
z x3 R U3 R2 F3 R y3//EO 5,18
R3 U2 R U R3//F2L 5,22
U M2 U3 M3 U2 M U3 M2//EPLL 7,29
Reconstruction! Sorry for the 3s instead of primes, doesn’t work in alg.cubing.net for some reason here.
29 moves, lucky 2x2x3 extension, as well as F2L, and then a COLL skip - pretty similar to my old PB in regards to the horrible 2x2x2.
Could’ve been faster, I didn’t realise it was going to PB until the F2L stage, so I wasn’t turning as fast as I could’ve, but still happy just to get it :)
